"Mom, go ahead and go home. I will be the one to watch Dad. You've been here for days," sambit ni Princess sa Mom niya after nila kumain at nag-aalala na rin siya sa kalagayan nito. "No, my daughter. I will stay here. You should be the one to go home and I know you are tired from work. I have nothing to do anyways so, I will stay here and watch your Dad," banggit ni Queen Kristine na hindi nagpatinag sa anak niya at dahil alam niya na marami rin ginagawa ito.Samantala si Wendy at Neil ay nagliligpit ng mga pinagkainan nila, at hindi nakikisali sa diskusyon ng dalawa."No, Mom. I will watch Dad—" matigas na pagpupumilit na wika ni Princess nang bigla siya natigil sa sasabihin niya dahil biglang nagsalita ang Daddy niya."Go home, my daughter. I rather want my wife to watch me than you. And I know you have a lot on your plate right now so, go and have some good sleep. We will be fine here," tinuran ni King Noha na mas pinili ang asawa niya na makasama kaysa ang anak nila."You're just
"It's good to be back home," tinuran ni King Noha when he finally set his feet again at the palace after he had a stroke."Remember, do not overfatigue yourself again or you will surely be back at the hospital. Okay?" reminded ni Queen Kristine at ayaw niya na bumalik ito sa hospital. "Do not worry, I am strong like a horse," pabirong sambit ni King Noha."Yeah, right," komento na lang na sabi ni Queen Kristine at lumingon siya kay Neil at Wendy na pinapanood lang sila. "How about you two, do you have plans for today?" tanong niya sa mag-asawa."Actually, we are going on a trip. We'll be gone for one week but if you need anything just call us," sagot ni Neil without hesitation at gusto niya ma-solo ang asawa niya after they have been away for how many weeks because of his work."I see. I know you miss your wife so much, son, so we're not going to stop you. Go ahead and have fun. You deserve it," masayang responded ni Queen Kristine at nilapitan niya ang dalawa to give them a warm emb
For one week, Neil and Wendy spent their whole day together as they explored different places in Singapore without any problems or complications. Whilst, every night they would make love and enjoy their own world together.———"Good afternoon, Mom," bati ni Neil sa mother niya nang makauwi sila ni Wendy from one week vacation at lumapit ito at him to give him a warm embrace. "Good afternoon po, Mom. How are you po?" maligayang bati naman ni Wendy at nagyakapan din sila ni Queen Kristine."Welcome back to both of you. So, tell me, when will I hear baby news?" pabirong sabi ni Queen Kristine at hinimas ang tiyan ni Wendy like she is putting spell on it.Pareho na tumawa si Neil at Wendy sa tanong nito."Soon, Mom," maikling replied ni Neil like he is expecting it too."That's good news, son. By the way, come with me and I have something to tell you," bati na singit ni King Noha at tinapik niya ang kanang balikat ng anak niya as he signals him to come with him, at nauna na siyang naglaka
After the meeting with family ay lumabas na si Princess nang meeting room at dumiretsyo sa sasakyan niya na blue sports car."Let's go back to the airport," utos ni Princess at nagmaneho na ang driver niya sa harap. "Now that Neil accepted the throne I have to make sure that his contract marriage that happened to the Philippines will never be exposed to the media. He will be doomed if that happens. Gosh, what was he thinking when he did that? He is being careless. Now I have to take care of some things for him," nag-aalalang bulong niya sa sarili since it's final that her little brother will be the next ruler of Dubai.Mabilis na nakarating si Princess ng bansang Pilipinas, sa oras na alas-syete nang umaga since apat na oras ang pagitan ng oras nito sa bansang Dubai. "Good morning, your highness, at your service," bati nang lalaking nakasuot pa nang uniporme as he saluted to the Princess of Dubai habang nakatayo sa gilid ng puting magarang sasakyan. "Give me my key, I'll drive my own
"What? No. I am not doing that," matigas na replied ni Neil after hearing his elder sister's suggestion."Baka nakakalimutan mo, Neil, isa-isahin ko lang ang problema mo, ha. Unang-una sa lahat, nagpakasal ka kay Wendy na hindi namin alam. People will surely dig what happened to both of you ni Wendy. Pangalawa, you fabricated a document, a contract to be precise that is against of any laws kahit saang bansa ka pa pumunta. Pangatlo, hindi alam ni Wendy ang mga kalokohan na ginawa mo about sa marriage contract niyo. You owe her an explanation. Pang-apat, you are the next ruler of Dubai and that means you should be the best example to everyone. Not to mention that your coronation is next week. Pero tingnan mo ang nagyayari sa 'yo ngayon. Panglima, you have to talk to Axel and Francis about your gender identity since you are the next ruler of Dubai. You have to sort things out with them, especially to Francis, ang taong iniwan mo at tinaguan mo for freaking seven years kung ayaw mo sabihin
"Come and let's take a seat," sabi ni Queen Kristine at niyaya niya si Neil na maupo sa isang couch habang kino-comfort niya ito."I really am sorry for what I have done," d***g ni Neil na hindi pa rin nauubusan ng luha sa kaniyang mga mata."We're good now, anak. Ang mahalaga sa amin ay nakauwi ka nang ligtas at kasama ka namin ngayon. But please, anak, don't ever leave us again. Or, I don't know what to do," tinuran ni Queen Kristine at hinimas niya ang likod ni Neil to make him feel better."Tell us, what else did you do? So, we'll know what to do, and how to protect you. Aside from fabricating documents, and fake marriage contract, what else have you done?" seryosong tanong ni King Noha to think of a way to save his son from humiliation.Napatigil sa paghikbi si Neil at iniangat niya ang ulo niya sa direksyon ng Dad niya, and they look at each other earnestly. "The truth is...I haven't mentioned about the document that I fabricated to Wendy. I will have to talk to her after this. A
"I'm going to call him, track his location right away, okay?" utos ni Neil sa kausap niya sa cellphone at binaba na niya ang tawag. Then, kaagad na tinawagan ni Neil ang unknown number na nagpakilala sa kaniya na Luis sa text at dalawang ring lang ay sumagot na ito sa kabilang linya. "Where is she?" bungad na tanong ni Neil na hindi natatakot sa kausap niya. All he wanted to know is kung kamusta na ang asawa niya at kung nasaan na ito. "Calm down, my dear cousin. She's safe with me," kalmadong sabi ni Luis pero he couldn't help himself but chuckle dahil nai-imagine niya ang mukha nito na puno nang pag-aalala."She better be or I will hunt you down myself. Give the phone to her now. I want to talk to her," Neil threatened him and he gritted his teeth for he is ready to fight for Wendy. "You want to see her? But she doesn't want to see you, my dear poor cousin. She hates you. You just broke her heart and now you want to see her?" asar at pilosopong sabi ni Luis like he is telling Ne
Tumunog ang dambana nang palasyo na naghuhudyat na alas-dose na nang tanghali nang buksan ni Kristine ang pinto sa bar room at nakita niya ang bunso niyang anak na nakahiga sa lamesa ng bar stool at mukhang lasing na lasing kaya naman pinuntahan niya ito at hinimas sa likod to wake him up. "Son? Come on, son, wake up and it's already afternoon. Your father is looking for you," gising na sabi ni Kristine sa anak at naupo na siya sa kanan nitong side while shaking him. "Agghh," he groaned at dahan-dahan na iniangat ang ulo niya kahit na nakasarado ang kaniyang mga mata. "Are you okay, son? Tell me, what are you doing here? Did you spend your night here?" sunod-sunod na tanong ni Kristine sa anak ng makita niya ito na may malay na. "Sorry, Mom, what time is it now?" tanong ni Neil in a husky voice since he just woke up from intoxication. "What time? It's noon already, darling. Are you alright? Did you talk to Wendy? Did you find her?" sagot ni Kristine at hinimas niya ulit ang likod
